The Chula Vista Animal Care Facility is participating in World Spay Day by providing the procedure free of charge to 50 cats and dogs that are two months or older and in good health. The effort is part of San Diego County’s goal of helping animal care providers spay and neuter 2,012 animals. Chula Vista residents can call to schedule an appointment, or bring in a dog or cat on Feb. 28 to the facility on Beyer Way.

Participants will need proof of residency with a utility bill, rental agreement or mortgage statement, and income verification.

The event will be limited to the first 50 eligible pets, and is only open to residents who meet low-income requirements.

An appointment is also required to participate. Call (619) 691-5226 to sign up.
